Detox
Oh my! Where do I begin?- Meeting Jeremy C. upon arriving at Turning Point has been such a blessing. Immediately me, my daughter and my son had a "connection" with this fine gentlemen. He gave us hope, never judged my son, and talked "straight" from the get go. We are ...
About Turning Point Recovery Center
Turning Point Recovery Center is an Albuquerque, New Mexico drug rehab facility. They offer many levels of care from detox and residential treatment to recovery housing and alumni services. They accept clients who have co-occurring mental health disorders.
Turning Point Recovery Center believes that recovery is multidimensional and personal. They’ll work with you to create a plan that meets your goals. This might include parenting or LGBTQIIA+ groups, wellness and fitness programs and peer support groups.
They focus on proven practices that will help you move toward your recovery destination. Their treatment focuses on building your resilience to difficult experiences and stress. They will help you learn how to build deep relationships with yourself and others and reframe negative thought patterns.
Turning Point accepts most commercial insurance plans. They are in-network with Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Mexico, Western Sky Community Care, Molina Healthcare, Presbyterian, First Health Network, MHN a Health Net Company and TRICARE. During your first visit, they’ll go over your coverage and what your co-pays will be.
This initial visit tends to last two hours. You’ll talk about your situation with a therapist and choose a treatment plan. I like that this clinic aims to see each new client in less than one business day of your phone call. If you choose to begin treatment, you can start intensive outpatient treatment right away.

I called on Sunday in search of information and answers for resources /treatment available . I spoke with Jessica. I highly recommend Turning Point . Although what I needed didn t meet criteria for their program but she did give my additional information and resources to best meet my needs. Jessica deserves a raise! She went above and beyond her duties and I am so grateful!

Thank you Julia, and we love Jessica too! We are glad to know she connected well with you and gave you the guidance and attention you needed. Connect back with us anytime, we love hearing the progress people make in their recovery.
From Detox to aftercare, Turningpoint will help you every step of the way. From Alexa at the front office to Intensive Outpatient on zoom, they have you completely covered with exercise, parenting, self-improvement, PEMF to cooking classes. Vince even helped me apply for Medicade when I was out of work with no insurance. These wonderful people treat you with such respect and kindness, it really helps make the process of getting and staying sober gentle and thorough. I have 10 months sober and am putting my life back together. They still help me cope and I'm starting to thrive.

Other Forms of Payment
Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.
Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.
Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.
Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.
Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.
Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
Outpatient Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.
Intensive Outpatient Their IOP is the best in the business. After alcohol and drugs are safely out of the body, the client enters an intensive, supportive, recovery program to avoid relapse and ensure stability. IOP combines group therapy, individual therapy, community meetings, peer support, and accountability. It’s a proven method of recovery.
12-Step 12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).
Medically Assisted Detox Clients in need of around the clock, full service, medically supervised detox can stay in their residential house located in the Northeast section of Albuquerque. Unlike huge detox facilities with dozens of beds and a one-size-fits-all approach, their detox house accommodates a maximum of 5 residents at any time. And rather than a sterile, hospital-type setting, their house sits in a residential neighborhood with all the amenities of home. Many clients need medically supervised detox services, but are unwilling or unable to enter into residential care, perhaps due to work or family obligations. Turning Point offers these clients the option of the proper medications and regular medical oversight to safely withdraw from alcohol or drugs while remaining at home.
Aftercare Support Rehab aftercare programs promote clients' long-term recovery by providing a robust continuum of care aligned with clients' evolving needs. Because addiction is a chronic disease prone to relapse, rehab aftercare services are highly client-focused and uniquely responsive to clients' changing medical, mental health, and social circumstances. Case managers and care teams collaborate with clients, assess their goals and needs, and provide access to recovery-focused resources, such as peer coaching, employment assistance, and relapse prevention services.
Treatments
The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.
Each drug rehab in New Mexico offers unique amenities and treatment methods. Common aspects of treatment include group and individual counseling, recreational therapy, medication management, and healthy living. Aftercare is often provided to prevent relapse.
Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.
Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.
Programs
Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
LGBTQ Program
Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.
Clinical Services
Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.
When the first need is for alcohol detoxification or drug abuse services, go to a specialist. At Turning Point, all their counselors work 100% on resolving addictions. Don’t seek out a private practice counselor and think he/she can get you through recovery. You need a full service facility with the range of services they offer.
Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.
If you attend couples therapy in New Mexico, you can expect to work with the therapist and each other to identify emotions, explore your history, and learn new skills to help you better meet relationship challenges. These skills may include problem solving, conflict resolution, and anger management.
Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.
With a therapist's guidance, experiential therapy in New Mexico provides hands on interventions that give you deeper access to your motivations, creativity, and emotions. This mode of therapy allows you to reflect on your experiences and resolve inner conflicts you may have ignored in the past.
